Episode 03

[RSS]

After a transporter malfunction causes Captain Kirk to be split in two, things become very uncomfortable for your hosts ("The Enemy Within"). Sadly, that trend continues when The Enterprise comes across a pimp and the women he's selling as wives ("Mudd's Women"). Thanks to the latter episode, the casual sexism count hits a staggering, nearly incalculable high. [ 1:42:50 || 49.8 MB ]

Is the transporter accident what created you guys? Dan the pacifist, Mike the raging maniac?

Awesome episode once again guys.

Just to clarify, when I said they "recalculated the warp scale", I meant that both in-universe and behind the scenes. From a behind-the-scenes perspective, they used real math to figure out what a "real" warp scale would be, and in-universe, sometime between TOS and TNG they recalculated the warp scale. Warp 1 is still the speed of light in both scales, but after that it branches off.

The TNG warp scale is nifty, but it's also a little silly because toward the end of the spectrum you end up with oddities like Warp 9.975 (Voyager's top speed) being almost three times as fast as Warp 9.8 (the Ent-D's top speed).

This needed to be seen to be believed.

Here's the shirt that I mentioned on air:

And here's the Ravage 2099 art that I own, which also came up on the air:

Oh yeah, Joe Bennett worked on both Spider-Man in the late 90s/early 2000s during the reboot era, as well as the woeful Nightwing Annual #2 in the mid-00s.

The attempted rape scene always disturbed me. I did not know it was Matheson until following along. I wish Matheson could have shown a different way that aggressive Kirk was dangerous.
